Yes, my first custom bow, a Chameleon Shrew Classic Hunter.  Beautiful bow!  But I didn't really know what I was doing when I ordered it and it was a little too heavy.  So I sold it instead of "growing" into it and have regretted it ever since.  When I was packaging it up to ship it I felt like I was burying my dog!!!  But, the story has a good ending because I just ordered another Classic Hunter.  Can't wait!

nope...but I do regret buying 2

Yep... first bow I had built for me...

Elburg Jaguar Express 63# @ 27"; 60" and tillered for 3 under... Red Elm on the back, walnut on the belly and bubinga riser...

Wish I could get her back, just for sentimental reasons...

My first real hunting recurve was a one piece 60", 40# @ 28" Bear Super Kodiak.

I sold it because it gave me a nasty case of finger pinch when I was doing informal target shooting since I grew into a 30" draw length. Some of my shooting sessions were 1.5-2 hours long.

But, I must say, that bow was a "looker". I sold it and still regret it to this day.      I should have kept it for a wallhanger.

A Kanati that I bought from jwingman. Jason said that my replacement should be in the mail today!

I just mentioned this on a thread over on the Trad History/Collecting forum:

I had my 1962 Bear Kodiak for 18 years.  My one and only bow.  In a moment of sheer stupidity I sold it to a friend in 1982 who "thought it looked nice".  As I recall, I sold it for less than it would have cost to feed 4 people at a BBQ joint.  Old recurves weren't in much demand back then.

I've shot other 62 Kodiaks since then that shot just as well (or better), but to this day, I have not seen another that had such highly figured Brazilian Rosewood...on both sides!

Sheer Stupidity is putting it mildly.  I'd pay dearly to get that bow back....especially in the same condition it was in when I sold it.

Maybe one day it will show up and I can redeem myself.

Anyone seen a wickedly figured 55# 62 Kodiak for sale in Texas?  I can't remember the serial number, but I would recognize the bow in the blink of an eye!

Oh yeah...my first custom bow I ever owned. Like a       I sold my Brackenkury Drifter 62"65#@29"

I can't believe I did that!!      

I've never regretted getting rid of any....but there's been quite a few that I've regretted buying!!  

Who would have thought something so pretty would have been such a peice of garbage!?

I hear ya. Vanilla

Years ago I sold a Fred Anderson Skookum. It took a few years but I think about that bow a lot now and really wish I had it back. I've bought a lot of bows and sold some but that one is my only regret.

Yep, sold my Brazilian Rosewood Fedora 560 TD with 2 sets of limbs. Now I can't afford to buy a bow let alone a Fedora but I do have 2 great little boys and  a wonderful Wife        IJ

Yes, I had a 58# Bamboo Longhunter that I traded on a heavier poundage Bamboo Longhunter. Now that the heavy weight bows are a bit much for me, I wish I had just bought the second Longhunter outright without doing the trade in.

Anyone got a 58# Bamboo Longhunter you want to sell?

Bought a lefty Zebrawood MOAB off the classifieds here.....48#@ my 28" draw. Killed a nice doe with it the second day I owned it. For some unknown reason I decided it was too light and sold it a few months later.       If anyone reading this has it, I WILL buy it back!  

Yes. Every one I sold. I had to drop down in weight and a good friend wanted them. Getting old sucks.

QuoteYes. Every one I sold

YEP!   :rolleyes:

I'd also like to find out "who" has this bow now. I've regretted selling it every since it left my rack.

Anyone know ???

Winterhawk1960

A Steve Hartley Voodoo Kustom Elk antler bow.

I miss it so much, can't locate it, so Steve is going to build me another one day.

Every Bear I have ever sold.. Most of all my 59..

Had a '66 Grizzly...beautiful shooting bow. Dumb move.

Eric

I don't regret selling any of'em. When I got my silvertip I knew that one wasn't going anywhere. Anyway if I sold it I wouldn't have a bow....so that ain't gonna happen. When I get my next silvertip, it ain't goin anywheres either :0)
